The Australian "aborigine" is a dravidian which originate in India. They originally came here across the asain continent and across the islands to the north and through Cape York in Queensland. That is why the natives in New Guinea and a full blood abo look the same. They came here about 4000 years ago and bought the dingo with them. In asia, the dingo is known as a wild dog.

So they are Asian? At one time it was a matter of serious debate as to which race they belonged and many thought they were a distinct race from the accepted three others [Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid]

There is a story on the net somewhere, I don't have the link, about a film crew that went to film these "people" but the helicopter that took them was attacked so they never got off.

This was reported in the British Press recently - with photos. Two crews were sent; the first were killed, but the second, who took the photos, escaped.

The original inhabitants, or at least the ones before the abos, were polynesians. The abos ate them. They then proceeded over time, to screw the envionment up dramatically. The entire middle of the continent, the "Red Centre", was actually rainforrest like in Queensland. They used fire to herd animals into ambushes as a form of hunting and there goes the bloody rainforrest. Vandal bastards! So much for living in harmony with nature!:mad

Funny thing is, I think that more Europeans have seen Ayers rock than Aussies. I can count on one hand the Aussies I know who have made the trek to the red centre, yet it was on every Brit and German backpackers itinerary when I was on the Queensland tourist trail. I'm not saying it's of no interest to Aussies, many have seen it, but perhaps it is so popular with foreigners is because it is the most widely recognised feature of the Australian landscape. Your average Aussie usually either holidays locally or heads to Queenslands beaches. I've been to the Grampians (West Victoria) over a dozen times, yet never set foot in the outback.

Mate, it's a stick! A bow and arrow is inventive. A radio or car is a complicated device. The boomerang, like most so-called inventions of blacks, was more likely a discovery than an invention. And discovery is not the same as invention.

Anyone who throws a bent stick will notice that the wind carries it differently to a straight stick, regardless of whether the person is aware of the principles of aerodynamics. A bit of tweaking to see what works, over time, will probably produce instruments similar to boomerangs. Which would make sense, seeing that the boomerang is only the most commonly known throwing stick among many, that the abos used.

edit: btw, I hope my tone doesn't come across as condescending or mocking. I've been influenced myself by docos where a scientist lauds an 'invention' by primitive tribes, talking about the ingenious engineering behind it. What most people don't realise is that trial and error can produce the same results as an engineers painstaking designs. Of course trial and error is not a great idea for aeroplanes or skyscrapers, but you get my drift

Of which race are the abbos descended from or part of? Where did they come from, how and why?

I don't think anyone really knows these answers yet, although many think they do. The same with all anthropology - the latest most popular theory being that all humans came from Africa, should instantly arouse suspicions in any thinking person.

I personally don't believe that the Abos are from the Dravidians. The Dravidians look nothing like them and it appears the Dravidians had their own temples and civilisation, although I don't know if this was before the Aryans arrived. The Abos on the other hand, appear to be just as primitive the African negro. No shelter more sophisticated than a bark hut, no metal refining, only used stone/bone and wood as tools. No farming or domestication of native species for eating. No wheel, no sails, but they did make fire. A stone age people that would never have created a civilisation, even if given another 1000 years. You can't even give civilisation as a gift to the majority of these people. Free education, food and housing have done very little for these people.

I personally believe that the Abos are a distinct race (species) - Australoids. I'd like to read from where LordS got his info from, but I doubt what some scientists are saying about DNA evidence because they are also trying to say that there is no difference in the DNA between whites and negroes!

Do you mean like the way Isaac Newton discovered the force of gravity?

I see, Newton did much the same with his apple.

Not at all, its highly scientific with in-depth reasoning and has completely floored me.

Your right, it does - my ancestors came from Scotland where the only black thing is an Aberdeen Angus' willy.

I agree, more likely they are from Argyle, according to your descriptions.

1 They tend to avoid work like the plague {was not always so but since PC came in..... well }

2 Since they dont usually have jobs most of the time they tend to have a MUCH higher crime rate than white australians. { I think leb muslims beat them but thats about it.}

3 They have pushed through legislation that allows them to kick someone off the family farm, its very bound up in red tape but this makes the rural communities that suffer from aboriginal crime dislike them even more.

A relation of mine is an Australian farmer and he says much the same as you. He says they are pist most of the time because they get thirsty walking about the place in the sun. He also told me they are only capable of looking after cattle and making funny noises with a hollow stick between their knees. Wouldnt the best idea be to put them all on top of Ayres rock with a pack of dingo's and dig a bluddy great moat around it for the tourists to look at?

Nah I feel sorry for them.

They are trying to make a transition from stone age to computer age that took the rest of us 20,000 years and they are trying to do it in two centuries.

I realise that since I live in a state and city with very low Aboriginal populations my views may dramatically differ from someone up in Queensland or the Northern territory surrounded by them every day.
